GodMode Creator for Windows 7 and Vista

GodMode for Windows had been the buzz Online for a couple of weeks now, some blogger claiming GodMode to be a newly found out trick and others claiming to be nothing new – and for all freaks out here, it seems enjoying for most!

Though making GodMode is no brainer, windows7club.com had introduced a more innovative and user friendly way of implementing GodMode on your SYSTEM.

Description [via Softpedia]

The GodMode Creator aplication was designed to be a freeware utility which lets you create 38 “GodModes” in Windows 7 & Vista, 32-bit, with a click. There is nothing magical about the GodMode. Windows has a set of certain folders which are identified by unique strings referred to as CLSID or Windows Class Identifiers.

These folders can be accessed by using the CLSID identifier codes that Windows assigns to each individual folder in the Windows Registry. If you know the codes, you can launch these with ease. 

In short, GodModes are nothing but developer shortcuts built into Windows 7 & Vista, that enable easy access to certain settings and information about the operating system. Using GodMode Creator, you can create these shortcuts easily. Simply click on the desired button and it will create the Special Folder or “GodMode” shortcuts on your desktop.

How to get Google Nexus in India

Google launched its own Android handset Nexus in Las Vegas a day before CES 2010.  But for us Indians it will always be a pain here in India (Mostly Tech Freaks!) to get hands on the Smart Phone after waiting pathetic amount of months or even years (if not). BTW the Nexus handset is only availabe in four countries the US, UK, Hong Kong and Singapore. While Surfing Online I  came across a suggestion by gamaze. You will incur some extra shipping costs but if you really can’t wait, here’s what to to:

    



     1. Download and install the free Hotspot Shield software. This will protect your location and IP address so that Google will allow you to access their phone store order pages.

    2. Sign up for a US based shipping address at MyUSABox. Their standard service costs $5 per package and they take the charge for your first package on registration.

    3. Sign up for a Google Checkout account. If you already have a Google or Gmail account, you can add that easily through your Google account settings. Note that you can use any international shipping address and credit card for this purpose, it does not have to be the MyUSABox address you just signed up for.

    4. Order the $530 unlocked version of the phone from the Google Phone Store. Make sure you add the MyUSAbox shipping address and Google Account billing address to the order.

    5. Wait for your Nexus One to arrive to MyUSABox. You should get notified by email as soon as it arrives.

    5. Log in to MyUSABox and forward your box to your home address, it should arrive within a few days.

How to Earn Money from your Blog - Using Googles' Adsense

This is the first time I am talking about money in this blog.. Money.. Money.. Well, you don't get for free of course you need to work for at least 30 minutes per day, that's more than enough for an blogger, with this brief introduction can go into adsense.. Oops! I just forgot to mention the basic need for this adsense program is you need to have a Webpage or Blog any thing will do the same one.., Now let's get cracking...

Free Money Free Money...

To begin with let me ask you some question how does a newspaper like 'The Hindu' get money, well or how does a tv channel like Sun TV get money.. Just leave that how does a big giant like Yahoo! makes money, well ofcourse ads, and now you are going to get money from ads. Well now how does it work ? It just involves an application and a review procedure; Basically what you need to do is construct a good Blog or a Website, submit an application form to Google; Google reviews your application and your web presence and voila if they approve your application you are a adsense customer.

Basic Steps :

Here's the step by step guide to get your hand on dollars,

- Go to http://adsense.google.com.
- Click on Sign Up and fill in the application form.
- Conform you e-mail address.
- Wait for 1-2 days until google approves your request.
- Log in to your adsense account
- Click on 'Adsense for Content' Tab. There is also an option of "Adsense for Search" which follows the same procedure.
- Click on "Ad Colours" tab and select the layout for the ads.
- Copy paste the HTML code from the "Ad Layout Code" tab into your website's template.
- Happy Faces!!! ads on your web site!

How does Adsense Works ?

Google claims that Adsense can grasp the theme of your content and deliver ads according to your content. For example if you do a blog which contains articles such as related to software, then you get ads related to software.  When any reader click on the ads you get paid by google, and more and more the reader click more and more ads you get more and more money.. Funny Huh!, Seriously speaking if you click on your own ads will it count, and this is a real thing to be considered for.  Basically the answer is no.  There are tons and tons of people who are caught by law for click fraud.  Google traces such fraud parties.  Google themselves gives a disclaimer that you can't click your own ads, when you sign up for Adsense.

Also there is a bunch of activities that you can't do you cannot have ads posted on a website that has any pornographic content, you can't place google ads on any crack, warez websites.  So how much can you earn with Adsense, this fully depends on how many visitors you have for your website, the more the people more chances they might click on the ads.  And regarding payments google will pay you when you balance reaches 100 USD, they will pay to you via Check, Paypal.

Adsense for Blogger:

Here are the steps to be followed :

- Sign in to your Blogger account
- On you blog's dashboard, click on Templates.
- Choose Add a Page Element, and then select Adsense
- The rest is pretty much right there for you to see and and do..
Select the "ad format" that you prefer, that is , the ad size on your blog, and then select the colours you'd like the ads to have.
- Click on 'Save'.

So, if you are clean and of course popular, you can be assured of some extra montly pocket money. Good Luck, Friends....

Google Launches Google Fast Flip

Google had recently launched it's Fast Flip service, which was a Labs' Product until now.  For those who are new, "Google Fast Flip is a web application that lets users discover and share news articles. It combines qualities of print and the Web, with the ability to "flip" through pages online as quickly as flipping through a magazine. It also enables users to follow friends and topics, discover new content and create their own custom magazines around searches."

The Official Google Blog States, 

Today you may notice a change to the Google News home page: Near the bottom, we're now displaying stories from Google Fast Flip, the article-reading service we launched in September. Fast Flip is still in Google Labs, so we'll continue to experiment with the format. But so far we've found that the speed and visual nature of the service encourages readers to look at many articles and, for the ones that catch their interest, click through to the story publishers' websites.

In December we added more than 50 newspapers, magazines, web outlets news wires and TV and radio broadcasters, bringing the total number of news sources discoverable in Fast Flip to more than 90. Encouraged by the positive feedback we've received from users and partners, we decided to expose the service to more potential readers by integrating it with the U.S. English version of Google News. As always, we welcome your thoughts.
